{"product_id":"9781462506132","title":"What Psychotherapists Should Know About Disability","description":"This comprehensive volume provides the knowledge and skills that mental health professionals need for more effective, informed work with clients with disabilities. Combining her extensive knowledge as a clinician, researcher, and teacher with her personal experience as someone with a disability, Olkin provides an insider's perspective on critical issues that are often overlooked in training. A lucid conceptual framework is presented for understanding disability as a minority experience, one that is structured by social, legal, and attitudinal constraints as well as physical challenges. Illuminating frequently encountered psychosocial themes and concerns, chapters describe a range of approaches to dealing with disability issues in the treatment of adults, children, and families. Topics addressed include etiquette with clients with disabilities; special concerns in assessment, evaluation, and diagnosis; the impact of disability on sexuality and romance, as well as pregnancy, birthing, and parenting; the use of assistive technology and devices; disability and substance abuse; and more. Filled with clinical examples and observations, the volume also discusses strategies for enhancing teaching, training, and research.  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Guilford Publications, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47125784625392,"sku":"9781462506132","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781462506132_p0.jpg?v=1763677053","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781462506132","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
